Using Actuarial Reports – Getting the Added Value

In this session entitled “Using Actuarial Reports – Getting the Added Value” the speakers will de-mystify the supervisory task of using actuarial reports even for those without an actuarial background. Actuaries fulfill key roles within insurers. Their work and subsequent reports are valuable to various stakeholders, including supervisors. However, due to the complexity of actuarial work it can be difficult for stakeholders, including supervisors to adequately understand the consequent implications for assessing insurer risk and capital management, policyholder protection and even the quality of the actuarial work itself. Based on their experience in supervision and in industry, the speakers will share their experiences through examples for both life and non-life. Participants will have opportunities to engage with the speakers during the webinar in a combination of quizzes, live polls and/or question periods. By the end of the webinar participants will have received practical guidance on measures they can use to get added value from actuarial reports.
